USPS - they did it again ...

Yeah, I couldn't recall how to spell tuchus.

 

My package from Portugal last week did not come with a tracking number and I found it to be so relaxing not to be checking on it. It arrived faster than I anticipated and in great condition.

 

I'm not sure that there's really a wrong way since Yiddish wasn't really written down until fairly recently. (Or so I've read.) Anything phonetically close is probably good.

 

Ahh, the Zen of the Old School.

 

I've lost sleep over lost packages, the Zen of the Old School is pretty nice. Great CT..

 

I won an auction and the item arrived within 5 days from the US. That's quicker than most UK deliveries. I was most impressed.

 

Yyyyes. Great CT hmmmm.

 

My set of 1957 Encyclopedia Britannica's Dictionary has the translations for several languages. One of the written languages in their is Yiddish. It is based off German and was used by the Jews in Eastern Europe. Rumor has it, that it was created to keep others from following what you were saying. Kind of like when my parents used Pig Latin to keep me from understanding a conversation they were having. That worked till I got a book on Pig Latin.

That's the way it works, that's the way it's been set up and running for decades. I live in Portland, OR. If I get sent something from CA, it goes past me, up to Kent, WA for sorting, and then comes back down to Portland.

 

Maybe they are sending it to me

It's still in Kentucky...

 

Maybe it had too much bourbon and isn't allowed to drive?

 

People have always written Yiddish using the Hebrew alphabet. It is the transliteration into the Latin alphabet that got standardized just recently (1920s?)

 

On its way to Colorado...



I guess they stopped processing mail in Denver. Also hasnt seen a scanner in 3 days. Was originally scheduled to be delivered on the 14th.

 

All my stuff is beamed down from the Starship Enterprise.

 

Looks like it flew OVER Colorado in the first place...geesh.

 

Why if they didn't know how to operate efficiently they'd be losing money, oh wait they are!

 

Be glad it did not set in customs for 10 days,
